pass structure to function

Yes, I was referring to your post where you mentioned that sizeof on a function parameter that is a pointer won't work.

Yes, to avoid confusing, the sizeof should be applied BEFORE the function and the size (or elements) passed TO the function since it cannot determine the size.

if this is what your talking about, it did what i wanted it to do.. or so ithink it did

Code:

---

length = strlen(rec->pass_name);
    for( i = 0; i < length; i++ )
      printf( "Seat [%i] is assigned to %s \n\n",  rec[ i ].seat_number , rec[ i ].pass_name );

---

Code:

---

Seat [21] is assigned to DR Power
Seat [2] is assigned to Green Lantern
Seat [30] is assigned to The Flash
Seat [7] is assigned to Super Girl
Seat [12] is assigned to Phoenix
Seat [17] is assigned to Clark Kent
Seat [4] is assigned to The Tick
Seat [26] is assigned to Swamp Thing

i am aware that i went about this whole project if you will the wrong way.. i think i set up the struct wrong to begin with..
thx
everyone

is this what you wanted? is this better than
length = strlen(rec->pass_name);

Code:

---


struct fast_line record[] = {    /** fill seats wth passengers **/
        { "DR Power", 21 },
        { "Green Lantern", 2 },
        { "The Flash" , 30 },
        { "Super Girl" , 7 },
        { "Phoenix", 12 },
        { "Clark Kent", 17 },
        { "The Tick" ,4 },
        { "Swamp Thing" , 26 }
       
          };

size_t count = (record, sizeof(record) / sizeof * record );
show_seats_taken (record, count );


void show_seats_taken( struct fast_line *rec,  size_t size )
{
 int i, length;
 //char temp[BUFSIZ];
 
// length = strlen(rec->pass_name);
    for( i = 0; i < size; i++ )
      printf( "Seat [%i] is assigned to %s \n\n",  rec[ i ].seat_number , rec[ i ].pass_name );
   
   
    }
